Mother Protectiveness and Independence Arc

The family-side arc is about love that can become limiting. Ritsuko’s mother wants to protect her, but the story’s premise makes independence part of Ritsuko’s growth.

Why It Matters

This arc is grounded in verified synopsis details from AniList and Kitsu metadata and expanded in original PopRot wording without inventing unsupported episode beats.
